The Rise of Australia - Chapter 999

c979 Armistice

Although there is no news from the German Prime Minister, sometimes no news is the best news.

Under the “friendly negotiations” of General Ludwig Beck, some Berlin media began to publish news that the Prime Minister had been killed in an assassination.

A report by one media may not mean much, but if there are several or even more than a dozen media reporting such news, even if the public does not want to believe it, they will inevitably feel a little worried.

Admiral Ludwig Beck wanted this effect.

As long as they can disrupt order in Berlin or even Germany as a whole, the rebel group’s army will have more hope of controlling the government.

A rebel group led by General Ludwig Beck soon took control of Berlin’s city hall and defense ministry buildings, and occupied the offices of the German High Command.

Just over an hour later, a brand new order from the High Command was issued directly and made public to all German people in the form of a radio broadcast.

In this order document, General Ludwig Beck repeatedly mentioned the harm of this war to Germany, and that at least 3 million German soldiers have died in this war.

Ludwig also mentioned that continuing this war is meaningless and will only make the Germans shed the last drop of blood for this unnecessary war.

Therefore, Ludwig decided to abolish the current German government, form a new Federal Republic of Germany, and appointed himself the first president of the Federal Republic.

The warmonger, the former German chancellor, will be tried by the courts of the new Federal Republic.

At the same time as he issued the order, President Ludwig mobilized a large number of troops to attack the hospital where the German Prime Minister was staying.

He understood that as long as he could kill the German Prime Minister, he could ensure the success of this coup. If the German Prime Minister is allowed to escape, even if the Federal Republic can control the situation in Berlin, it may not be able to sustain the subsequent counterattack organized by the German Prime Minister.

At this time, on the other side, in a hospital with the most advanced medical technology in Berlin, two of the German Prime Minister’s confidants, Goering and Himmler, were gathered together with complex expressions.

On the hospital bed next to them, there was a man lying motionless.

“What should we do?” Göring, the former glorious Air Force Commander, now seemed so lonely and helpless, and looked at the calmer Himmler.

“Block the news about the Führer and use all forces to control the situation in Berlin.” Himmler replied: “We cannot let those rebels completely control the situation in Berlin, otherwise we will fall into a situation of no return.

At present, only by making those rebels realize that the Prime Minister is still alive can it be possible to resolve this crisis. ”

Göring and Himmler are currently facing the worst possible situation. Although the German Prime Minister did not die directly in the explosion, he was seriously injured in the explosion and fell into a coma.

Although the guards responded quickly and sent the Prime Minister to the hospital, such serious injuries cannot be saved by current medical technology.

The Prime Minister lasted only more than an hour on the operating table before losing his breath. From then until now, Göring and Himmler have been silent.

“If that doesn’t work, we will take a plane and escape to Romania, transfer from Romania to Africa, and then take a ship to North America.” Himmler thought for a while and then said.

Goering and Himmler, as the two most trusted confidants of the German Prime Minister, will definitely be liquidated by the new German government and other hostile countries after the Prime Minister’s death.

This also means that the two of them must find a way out for themselves in advance, because their sky has fallen and the current situation is simply irreversible.

Golin nodded passively, but his heart was already numb.

The Prime Minister’s death was so sudden that Goering was completely unprepared and had no idea what he should do next.

If he did not arrange a plane to escape to North America as Himmler said, he would have no choice but to sit back and wait for death in Berlin.

However, judging from the current situation, as the two most loyal confidants of the Prime Minister, they are destined to bear some blame that does not belong to them in the first place.

Should he end his glorious career with the Prime Minister, or go to North America to survive? Göring could not make up his mind.

Seeing Goering fall silent, Himmler quickly understood what he was thinking. After about a minute of silence, Himmler said: “We have another option.”

Seeing Goering looking up at him, Himmler continued: “No matter what our outcome is, those who dare to assassinate the Prime Minister are definitely the sinners of Germany.

Before following the Prime Minister, we should avenge the Prime Minister and let those damn rebels understand that Germany did not die at the hands of you, me and the Prime Minister, but because of their rebellion. ”

Hearing what Himmler said, the numbness in Goering’s eyes dissipated a little, and he nodded slowly and said: “Let’s do it. I don’t want to abandon the Führer and live. For people like us, maybe follow the Prime Minister. That’s the best result.”

Under the orders of Göring and Himmler, the German troops under their control launched a fierce attack on the rebels.

At the same time, Himmler’s Gestapo, the so-called secret state police, was mobilized to investigate the culprit who assassinated the prime minister.

It is relatively simple to investigate. At present, the rebel group headed by General Ludwig has come forward. Combining the list of senior military officials attending the party, we can basically judge the candidates who may participate in the assassination.

After careful comparison and investigation, Himmler turned his attention to Colonel Klaus and Major General Hans who temporarily left the party.

Because these two people were the only two people among all the senior military officials who escaped the impact of the explosion and were not even injured.

And according to the statements of several senior military officials, these two people were very close to the Prime Minister and were the two most suspicious of all the senior military officials at the party.

Without any hesitation, all the secret police forces in Himmler’s hands went out to secretly arrest Colonel Klaus and Major General Hans.

Speaking of these two people, after the explosion at the venue, the two were closely protected by General Ludwig.

In addition to the strength of the division under Major General Hans, even if the executor of this assassination was discovered, those secret police forces might not be able to capture these two people from the hands of the army.

While the Gestapo was investigating the assassination, General Ludwig, who had occupied the Ministry of Defense building and the Berlin City Government, had begun convening the first meeting of the new government of the Federal Republic of Germany and was discussing the only topic of this meeting, which was the price at which to reach a ceasefire with Britain, France and Australia.
